The iconic K40 Ford fighter was one of the mainstays of the Clone Air Force during the Clone Wars but since the introduction of the successor K45 Falcon, the K40 numbers have been steadily reduced from nearly 3,000 in service at their height.
The number in service with the CAF has now dropped to 990 (plus 20 in service with the Clone Navy Air Service). Numbers will continue to be reduced as more K45s, and the K47 light fighter, continue to enter service. Only the 260 K40S, the final variant, are to remain in service beyond the mid-2120s.
